well i tried the fuel pump relay but that seemed to be working so i forced fed the pump with a 12v feed but nothing not even a dribble out of that fuel line, so out with the angry grinder and made a new access panel
checking with a test light there is 12v going into the pump and the earth is good but it refuses to even give the slightest impression of wanting to work, will test it again on the bench when i worked out how those plastic pipe clips release
i guess i need a second hand fuel pump then .... anyone ?

right we are in bussiness at last i finally cleared a spot in my workshop and made a start
plans have changed a bit but dont they always, it was going to be an unmodified jimny chassis so i could keep it road legal but not any more lol
i acquired this chassis which has had the front and the back cut off it not the end of the world i know, i could weld them back on but have decided to make it offroad only,
then the big decision what wheelbase, leave as is or shorten it down a bit

the chassis itself is in remarkable condition looks like it was made yesterday but unfortunately someone in the past has painted it black with no preparation and the black falls off if you sneeze by it,
now i can be a bit anal about the condition/presentation of my toys so i need to get this shot blasted so i can paint it properly, and if i am going to the trouble of shot blasting then i want to do inside the chassis as well
so cut it half it is then

So are you planning on keeping any of the Jimny bodywork or is it going to be some kind of tube buggy?
